I have a second question that's a follow up to that. As explained, I moved /var/tmp/portage to a mounted drive and symlinked it. When that failed, I copied that directory back to /var/tmp/portage and was able to emerge pavucontrol. But now I observe something I don't understand. The moved directory tree has these contents: drwxrwxr-x 3 portage portage 4096 Feb 25 07:20 app-text drwxrwxr-x 4 portage portage 4096 Feb 25 07:20 dev-libs drwxrwxr-x 3 portage portage 4096 Feb 25 05:04 dev-python drwxrwxr-x 3 portage portage 4096 Feb 24 22:25 mail-client drwxrwxr-x 3 portage portage 4096 Feb 25 07:20 media-libs drwxrwxr-x 3 portage portage 4096 Feb 25 05:53 net-misc drwxrwxr-x 3 portage portage 4096 Feb 25 04:50 www-client But the copied-back directory tree only has these contents: drwxrwxr-x 3 portage portage 4096 Feb 25 05:04 dev-python drwxrwxr-x 3 portage portage 4096 Feb 24 22:25 mail-client drwxrwxr-x 3 portage portage 4096 Feb 25 05:53 net-misc drwxrwxr-x 3 portage portage 4096 Feb 25 04:50 www-client Does portage *remove* some files in /var/tmp/portage but retain others? This is important to me because I want to use this system as a local binary server to other gentoo systems and because I want to retain the build environments.
